How to Stop a Puppy From Crying at Night

As pet lovers, we’re all familiar with that puppy crying sound that makes us want to rush over and comfort our fur babies. If you’re a new puppy parent, you probably hear that sound when your puppy is crying in the crate at night. We’ll show you how to stop a puppy crying at night so you can get the rest that you deserve. After all, being a puppy parent is a tough job.

We know how heartbreaking it can be to hear your puppy crying, so we’re here to help! Crate training is an essential part of puppy training because it helps teach your puppy that being alone can be a good thing. Sometimes it can be really difficult to be the strong puppy parent and enforce good behavior, especially when your puppy is making that puppy crying sound. You should ask yourself “Why is my puppy crying?” because that can help determine your next training steps. It’s quite common for puppies to cry in their crate at first. With a lot of patience and consistency, you can help determine the root of puppy crying and learn how to stop a puppy crying. All this training will pay off when your pup reaches doghood.

Chewy is here to help your puppy become the best dog he can be! We’ve got plenty of puppy treats and puppy toys to help you with puppy training. So what are you waiting for? The sooner you learn how to stop puppy crying at night, the more beauty sleep you and your fur friend can get tonight! Check out our channel for more helpful dog training videos and of course, more adorable puppy videos.

Puppies are cute even though it isn’t fun to hear them 😢.

My puppy starts to cry every 2 hours in the night from 10pm 😭😭. I just want to sleep.

Just got him last night and he’s been yelping & howling so much, praying this works

This helped a lot. When my parents got a puppy, she cried during the night because of separation anxiety and wanting to be in bed with me. What I did, like what mama dogs do, was be firm and tell her to shush. If she persisted, I made a noise to get her to back off and be quiet. After a few nights, things were silent during sleep :)

If your puppy is new to your house, crying in their crate at night and for some reason you can’t allow the sound of the crying; try sleeping on the floor next to them. Or let your children be next to the puppy at night if you have a family :)

My dog is literally always looking at me when I watch chewy’s videos like “why are you looking at other dogs” lol

Thank you so much we have a 8 week shih Tzu and he cry’s at night and I didn’t know what to do . So at 2 am this morning I watched your video and it helped so much . He eventually stoped crying and went back to sleep. I know that he’s probably going to cry tonight but he will learn that nighttime is for sleeping 😴. Thank you so much ☺️.

I got my German Shepard puppy yesterday and he’s only 7 weeks when it came to night... out of no where he started crying and I felt sooo bad and I just stayed with him but until I found this video the next day. It came to the point where it was 1am IT WORKED and all I did Is not make a big deal about it and played some nice relaxing music and I was happy I could go back to sleep 💤

[labreo.o]

I haven’t slept in 3 days😭😭 thanks for the help
